Introduction
Discomfort in the lower left abdomen after intercourse during ovulation may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions, such as left adnexal inflammation or left adnexal cysts. Targeted treatment is required, and the specific analysis is as follows: In normal females, a mature follicle forms within the ovary and releases an egg. During ovulation, the mature follicle may rupture or the corpus luteum may rupture.

Discomfort in the left lower abdomen after intercourse during ovulation may be caused by physiological factors or pathological conditions, such as left adnexal inflammation or left adnexal cyst. Targeted treatment is required depending on the cause. The specific analysis is as follows:

I. Physiological Factors

In normal females, mature follicles develop within the ovaries and release an egg during ovulation. During this process, the mature follicle or corpus luteum may rupture. If intercourse is too vigorous at this time, it may cause blood vessels to rupture, stimulating the lower abdomen and resulting in discomfort in the left lower abdomen after intercourse during ovulation. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, and symptoms typically resolve spontaneously over time without requiring treatment.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Left Adnexal Inflammation

During ovulation, a woman's immune function may decline, making her more susceptible to bacterial or other pathogenic infections that can damage the left adnexa and trigger left adnexal inflammation. Intercourse at this stage may intensify the stimulation of inflammatory factors, leading to the aforementioned discomfort. Under a doctor’s guidance, medications such as azithromycin tablets or metronidazole tablets may be used for treatment.

2. Left Adnexal Cyst

If the left adnexa in a woman are irritated by pathogens, localized cystic changes may occur. Hormonal fluctuations during ovulation may lead to bleeding in the adnexal area, and intercourse can further aggravate this irritation, causing discomfort. Surgical removal at a hospital is recommended for treatment.

Besides the above, conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometrial cysts may also cause such symptoms. It is advisable to seek timely medical evaluation and receive appropriate, targeted treatment.

Is the chance of getting pregnant high if having sex 8 days before menstruation?
If the menstrual cycle is regular (e.g., 28–30 days), ovulation usually occurs approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period. Eight days before menstruation, the ovulation period has typically already passed, and the egg has lost its ability to be fertilized; thus, the likelihood of pregnancy during intercourse at this time is low. However, it should be noted that even with a regular cycle, slight variations may occur due to factors such as emotional state or stress, potentially delaying ovulation and leaving a small chance of unintended pregnancy.

Is it safe if a condom slips off halfway?
If the condom slips off halfway but no ejaculation has occurred, or if it is promptly removed after ejaculation without semen spilling or coming into contact with the vulva or vaginal opening, and if this happens outside the woman's ovulation period (approximately one week before or after menstruation), the risk is likely low. There is no risk of semen entering the vagina, and the probability of conception during non-ovulatory phases is minimal. Simply maintaining proper hygiene afterward is sufficient; there is no need for excessive concern.

Does dry underwear mean menstruation is coming?
If it is the late luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, 1–2 days before the expected onset of menstruation, dry underwear is mostly caused by changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. Before menstruation begins, cervical and vaginal mucosal secretions are significantly reduced compared to the ovulation period, leading to dryness in underwear. This condition aligns with normal physiological changes prior to menstruation. If menstruation starts on time afterward, no special concern is needed.

Does a 14-year-old girl have an ovulation period?
Most 14-year-old girls have already begun ovulating, although their ovulation may not yet be regular. At this stage, girls' reproductive systems are gradually maturing, but there are individual differences in development. Parents should pay attention to their daughters' physical changes and provide proper health guidance to help them understand their own bodies. Girls themselves should also develop good hygiene habits, maintain an optimistic mindset, and smoothly navigate through adolescence.

What does it mean when a lump of jelly-like substance is discharged during ovulation, and what should be done?
In general, the discharge of a lump of gel-like substance during ovulation may be caused by elevated estrogen levels, physiological changes during ovulation, bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, cervicitis, or other reasons. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, identify the underlying cause, and follow symptomatic treatments under a doctor's guidance. In daily life, avoid prolonged use of sanitary pads and reduce moist, warm conditions in the external genital area.

What is the probability of getting pregnant on the fourth day of ovulation?
If a woman ovulates precisely, the egg typically survives for 12–24 hours after ovulation. By the fourth day of the ovulation period, the egg is highly likely to have lost its fertilization capability, significantly reducing the chance of pregnancy from intercourse at this time. Under these circumstances, even if sperm can survive in the body for 2–3 days, it is difficult for them to meet a viable egg, resulting in a low probability of conception.

Is it easy to get pregnant from external ejaculation on the first day of ovulation?
In general, the probability of pregnancy from withdrawal (coitus interruptus) on the first day of the ovulation period is low, but it is not completely safe and there remains a risk of unintended pregnancy. If you do not currently plan to become pregnant, it is recommended to use more reliable contraceptive methods, such as condoms or oral short-term contraceptives. Additionally, it's important to understand your own ovulation patterns and avoid relying on unsafe methods like withdrawal.

How to get pregnant easily
Methods that generally help increase the chances of pregnancy include accurately identifying the ovulation period, maintaining a regular and moderate frequency of intercourse, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits. By monitoring basal body temperature, observing changes in cervical mucus, or using ovulation predictor kits, you can determine the time of ovulation. Having intercourse from 2–3 days before ovulation to 1 day after ovulation increases the likelihood of egg and sperm meeting.
